This is a list of various files that are pertinent both to my courses and to learning in general, including "Major Forms of BS," "Specious Arguments," and "Ten Commandments of Paper-Writing." These, I trust, are of far more general use than they may first appear.
Various files
|
Major Forms of BS |
This is an abbreviated discussion of what makes BS different from mere error, with common examples of various types of what I regard to be worthy of the designation. Caveat: Some of my examples may step on your toes. |

Specious Arguments |
As the name suggests, this is an abbreviated discussion of major logical fallacies (with an encouragement to avoid committing them). |

Ten Commandments of Paper Writing |
This file contains my rules for writing papers, and it contains more than ten. |
